26 January 2012

The declaration of the International Year of Cooperatives has sparked co-operators’ imagination and they are coming up with very creative ideas. A demonstration of this, is the latest event organized by the INFOCOOP in Costa Rica, the “Cooperative Cup 2012”.

This championship will be open for cooperative members or workers. The matches will be held on Saturdays and they will start at the end of February.

Earlier this month, Costa Rica presented another creative idea. The National Lottery launched a lottery ticket in commemoration of the International Year of Cooperatives. The lottery ticket included the IYC logo and slogan: Cooperative enterprises build a better world” as well as the cooperative flag.
